Microsoft announces retirement of Internet Explorer (IE)
Internet explorer will go out of support from June 15, 2022
The browser was launched on August 16, 1995
It holds just a 3.8% share of the desktop browser space
Microsoft kept it so long as many older enterprise software/ websites only work with IE
In 2015, Microsoft replaced Internet Explorer with Microsoft Edge
Users who still want to use IE can use the Internet Explorer(IE) mode found on Edge
The user base of Internet Explorer declined with the advent of better alternatives like ‘ Google Chrome’ and ‘ Mozilla Firefox’
